Jeans for a slender young teen

[Janie Grace]

My dd13 is very slender but recently had a growth spurt -- her arms and legs are suddenly much longer! Her 12 slim jeans are too short. Problem is, 14 slim jeans are way too big around the waist/hips (she is very narrow through the waist/hips). Any suggestions of brands that accommodate this kind of shape? I was built the exact same way; she's going to be late bloomer like I was, much to her chagrin.

 

Okay, moms of skinny minnies -- tell me where to start looking.

Justice carries a stretch denim, skinny jean in slim. They should work. I bought them last year for my skinny, minnie niece.

 

HTH-

Try a size 0 in Aeropostale or American Eagle. They're tiny but you can get them in different lengths, too.

My dd is only 9, but has the same problem. We finally found jeans that fit her at Justice - specifically their skinny/slim jeans. Maybe pop into a store and take a look. Here's a link:

Thanks, ladies! She used to like Justice a lot but has sort of outgrown the "sparkly" stuff. Maybe they have plain jeans too. I'll check it out! I'll check out Aeropostale, too. I actually buy *my* jeans there. I thought they run big (I'm a 1/2 there, which cannot possibly be right... I think I'm more like a 4), but maybe a 0 in a "skinny" style would work.

We don't do sparkly either, and they do have some plain ones.

They make 00 too, which is even smaller. Take a look at the size charts at several of these teen/tween stores. I was amazed at the dramatic differences in inseam length for the same waist size - it varied as much as 4" between stores. The down side is that your days of adjustable elastic waists might be over...

My daughter is 5'7" but tiny for 13... She gets her 0s at Old Navy. They have a variety of styles. We don't wear "skinny" jeans.

Hmm...American Eagle might be a better fit, then. I'm about 95lbs and wear a 2 comfortably loose there, though could wear a 1 without issues. My Aeropostales fits about the same.
